About half-way there, I noticed a strangely dark cloud beginning to appear over the top of Mount Agamenticus. I pointed it out to Timmy but he told me not to worry, that we'd be back way before it started to rain. By the time we got to the dirt road which led to Widow Stanwick's house, though, that cloud, which was moving across the sky with incredible speed, was now almost directly over us. I began complaining to Timmy, who just laughed and asked what's a little water here and there to a dedicated paper boy, then turned onto the dirt road. Just as I made the turn, though, I ran over a piece of broken glass and pierced my front tire, which immediately hissed and went flat.
